i haven't read that "hyperspace" book, but i've been meaning to for a while. here's a similar book that i LOVE: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0375708111/ref=cm_huw_sim_1_4/104-8301049-3135906?v=glance

chas! of all people then, you should love evolution! do you? i don't know many religious people that accept it. i really don't see how you can question it though. just look at your picture!

the universe is an amazing thing. a few minutes ago i got out of my car and started walking towards my house and i stumbled upon a toad on the ground. its appearance blended in so well with its surroundings, i would never have seen it if it didn't jump. as i got up close to look at it, it...

if the concept of fractals is true, what are some interesting things you could say about the universe? for example, what are some conclusions that you could reach that would make you think, "wow."

chas, go read my "markets are not random" thread. my original post explains it all.. heheeee

FP, i KNEW i should have also said this in my original post...but..... my point for starting this thread wasn't really to find a way to make money with the concept. it was more of an effort to expand my general knowledge. i'm very interested in the universe/science. p.s. i have stared...

here's the definition of a fractal for the clueless guys :) don't worry, i was one yesterday..and i still am. :D "repeating geometric pattern: an irregular or fragmented geometric shape that can be repeatedly subdivided into parts, each of which is a smaller copy of the whole. Fractals are...

i have to say, today is the first day i ever did some research on fractals and i already like the concept. we discussed chaos theory the other day and that made 100% sense to me. the stock market really is a chaotic system. now i'm wanting to learn more about fractals. i have no idea if they...

i'd like people's thoughts on runningbear's statements above. i believe runningbear is saying that you can't predict what is going to happen, you just know there is going to be movement.

silk, i hope you don't mind answering a few questions.. so i take it you want to buy stocks going up and short stocks going down. if i wanted to do this on monday, how would you suggest i find a long candidate? what pleases you enough so that it qualifies as a stock going up? i...

bigscalper, these 2 interest me. how do you deal with losing/winning streaks? and how do you handle a gap past your stop? thanks

nitro, can you give an example or two of what you consider to be a detail? i'm not asking you to give away a real detail that you actually use. just a general example would be fine. thanks

lol :D

aphie, believe me, i know there are no sure bets, riskless trades, or fool-proof methods. i am way past that stage. as for being afraid, that is just not the case. i would liken my pause in trading to being WISE. if after 3 years, what i do doesn't work, why would i keep throwing money at it...

but that's not how it is. secco does not know more about me than i do. he has no clue what i know about trading or what my specific weaknesses are. anybody who is successful at anything had to learn from their mistakes. they didn't just quit whenever they made one. so yeah, let's...

it seems a lot of people are looking to catch a trend. but, as Ditch puts it, if choppiness is more likely to occur, why not look to profit from choppiness?

commisso, and everyone else here who has ever helped me or responded to any of my questions, THANK YOU. there are some very kind and helpful people here. i appreciate everyone's input. i've learned a lot from this place..in more ways than one. secco, you better get used to me cuz i'm...

Oldtrader, i would appreciate your thoughts on my post. i think the key to this thread will be the opinions of people who consistently make money. for the people that don't make money, how can you give any advice at all?

aphie, you're a good guy.. but you keep forgetting one thing. I'VE been trading for 3 years. how many real trades have YOU made? and YOU tell ME to trade!! hahaha :D
